At 4-11, the Suns have had a disappointing start to the season. I wanted to investigate the numbers and see where there are positives to pull out going forward for the rest of the season. An initial number to note is that basketball-reference.com is that the Suns expected W-L is 5-10 meaning they have under-performed slightly or been on the bad end of the luck.
First, I want to look at the offensive and defensive rating. The Suns have an offensive rating of 103.4 which ranks 24th and a defensive rating of 109.5 which ranks 25th.
